My wife wanted me to stay in the Philippines at first too.  Now that she has been here for near 2 years I can't get her to talk about going home.

The fact that you didn't marry her at home might be a problem for a long time.  Watch for it in "tampos".  I think you will be apoligizing for it for many years to come.

I am the kind that doesn't get scared till I am sh#t deep in trouble, even then I'm too stupid to give up.  So worrying about moslems is way back on the burner, I say let them worry about what I'll do if they p#ss me off.  (And I don't know any martial arts). So as for visiting her parents for it and don't worry unless you stay for a long period of time.  The fact that they are upset you didn't visit them means they are not too concern for your safety in coming there, so its probably safe.

The resort idea worth looking into.  You'll have to find out how to advertise your business, put the properties in her name, and hope the local officials aren't crooked, other than that go for it.

Well Bear that is the problem, I wanted to keep her there before she got to see the US.  I know once here she will probebly want to stay.  But when I was in Panglao there were a few Filipina wives who had been to Europe and would rather stay in Panglao.  

Yup, you hit the nail on the head, but the parents gave their permission for her to marry me with out them being there.  But I feel some rumbling going on with this subject.

It would be chicken to go every place but their house on my tour.  So next trip will be to her home.  I want to see that underground spring they all get their water from.  

About the resort, I dream of it each day, fortunately I am in another resort Daytona Beach.  But at least now I have 2 places in the world I would like to be.

Peter,
Go check out this yahoo group called "Living in the Philippines."  There are a lot of foreigners of different nationalities posting in the message forum who can provide you with answers.  Some are in Mindanao and may give you a better picture of security in the region.
